Soul springing and nude swimming, I should learn them both. It leads me to suggest or a look back at colonial times; when Russia also ruled part of the United States of America, and to think a vice-president was almost elected from Alaska. God be with You
Years ago, my girlfriend and I were staying at a lake house. It was very late at night, and after a few drinks we decided to go down to the dock and go skinny dipping. We had not seen anyone else around all day so we assumed that no one was there that night. It was not a private dock. So after spending a rather festive time swimming around, we saw a boat headed into the dock. By the time we were sure the boat was headed to that particular dock, it was too late to get out of the water safely, and protect our modesty. Our only option was to hide under the dock, and hope they did not linger long. They did see the stack of clothes we had left, and after discussing why there was a pile of clothes and no people they left. We let them get safely away then got dressed and went back to the cabin.
If it ever comes up in our lessons, I will tell the story about skinny dipping in a public pool.
Of course, we were kind of hoping you would at least wear a bikini in this video. Or a monikini. Or a nadakini.
I’ve skinny dipped twice in my life. Once in a swimming pool at night. The other time in broad daylight off the coast of Spain (Llança). It was the summer of 1992, and Barcelona was getting ready to host the Olympic Games (I also visited Barcelona on that trip). So I think my Mediterranean skinny dipping was probably a logical extension of my thinking about the Olympics.
My father used to skinny dip on hunting trips. Some kind of hunter’s ritual, I guess.
If you haven’t tried skinny dipping, it really is a wonderful experience. But you have to avoid the anxiety of being seen (unless you don’t care).
i was skinny-dipping in my child days with my classmate in the small river. haha, i never had skinny dip when i am growing. i hope to have a skinny dip ,it is certainly exciting.
Oh yes,I skinny dipped,was years ago in a trout stream,I have a vivid memory of reaching around to Her front and —————————cool,wet —————slippery———————lived to tell the tale.
I never had the pleasure to do any skinny dipping. I overheard from my sister, back when we were both in high school, that she had skinny dipped with her friends. But I have always been more of the skinny, quiet type with hardly any friends.
I’m new and only been on a time or two but I’ve noticed in this short time that there seems to be a lot of bad attitude from some folks. I know that some of this is to be expected but c’mon man! I thought this is supposed to be a fun place.
I’m a little vexed that my gravitar aint workin yet, but hey, the fate of the universe aint hangin’ in the balance here!
Hey capman, I think you and I are in the same neck of the woods!
I started trying Fire Fox 3.0. I can’t get but half of the gravatars to show up. I emptied my cache and history and restarted the isp but it still doesn’t work. Any help
Oh its cracking. I thought u meant cracking as in cracking like a window would. HA. No my accent is british. I live in Dorset which is a country sounding accent (although I dont live in the countryside) And I think its recognized everywhere as being the pirate accent arrrrrrrgh welcumz to darzat!

He said he was leaving before anyone said anything to him. I agree about the civility, but sometimes it’s just hard when you see someone you like, being criticized or attacked. I will let you fight your own battles.
I came by on the 19th when pulsionsinconscientes was punking you.
That guy was just playing with you. No matter what you would say he just wanted to fight. The nicer you got the more he would stick it to you.
I wanted to jump in, but I would have made it much worse. Just don’t engage him. Tell all of the ” jackals ” don’t engage him.
aLx was up to his crap too. Anyhow give um Hell.
As for me, I was too busy with school (student/teacher) to keep up with all the comments during July and the early part of August, so I have no idea what the “flame wars” are about. i’m trying to catch up with videos now, and I’m glancing at some of the comments, adding a couple here and there. But I don’t have time to see what all the flame war fuss is about. Don’t really care either. My primary purpose here is to learn etymology, adore Marina, and toss in a few bad puns.
I once saved a guys life at Blacks Beach in San Diego while “skinny dipping”.
He was being pulled out to sea by a ripe tide…. Swim with the shore is the solution there… Anyway the United States Navy gave me a commendation and I had some explaining to do to the starter wife…
Maybe I should change my screen name to “lost for words”
While we’re waiting for Marina to do lewd, how about the word interlude? Wait. Did you ask her to do lewd or be lewd? I need to check your request again….
a funny story about me skinny dipping. Hmmm i can’t think of any haha i guess i dont skinny dip that often. But Marina i would be more than happy to go skinny dipping with you . Good luck on the next video and please respond i feel like im talking to a wall. BYE.
I did make it but then thought then thought there wasnt anything special about it. I would be prepared to make it again, but I just didnt think there was much i could do
Miss M could you please do us a favor and say Kill moose and squirrel here is what this all about.
From RRR. Someone needs to give her a link to a Bullwinkle cartoon so she knows what we are asking Her to do . ? Ok Here it is Marina You will better understand if you research it here.
Jehovah! This isn’t really a made up word, but i know it was a mispronunciation in the middle ages because most Europeans didn’t know how to pronounce Hebrew words. So the roughly translated the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH) and pronounced it Jehovah when really it’s unpronounceable because it has no vowels. My question is this, is there any other words that this has happened to in history that has stuck around like Jehovah?
A little strong on the come back aren’t you. I was offering a little help like most of us regulars do on this site. But if you don’t want any help then your attitude is on the wrong site. I don’t have a thing against Jews. You haven’t seen anything yet till the rest of the regulars see how you have answered my comment.
Sorry I didnt mean to come off like a schmuck.
I just get really sensitive when it sounds like someone is insulting my intelligence. I just seemed kind of odd that you expected me not to know the most basic definition of the word after i had said of of that. Again I’m sorry.
No problem, I didn’t know if you knew that was his name that is why I offered my only answer. Then someone else could pickup where I left off. By no means do I think you are not intelligent, you wouldn’t be asking such a good question as you did. I just sorry you took me wrong. Good luck with your class. Peace .
Sometimes the real origin of a word is buried inside it somewhere but obscured from view by change over time. If this word has been around as long as we think it has, it will have undoubtedly been subject to quite a bit of diachronism.
All words were made up by someone, except perhaps onomatopoeic words that try to imitate the sound or action they describe (knock, sizzle, tap, jingle, crash, etc.) or echoic words that use the sound an animal makes to refer to it. And even those vary widely in different tongues and regions.
Perhaps some diachronic etymological relationships of the separate sounds that comprise the word, regardless of its present lack of vowels, can be found. The word or parts of the word would have to be interpreted by someone fluent in Hebrew and a possible meaning derived.
As a theology student you may answer part of the question this way: Do the separate characters in the word have individual meanings or underlying root associations? What are they, if any, and in how many different ways might they be associated &/or interpreted?
Then look for what’s missing, if anything. Things get lost over time; letters get dropped or words become more streamlined. Whole sentences slowly turn into words, like ‘goodbye’ for example.
Once you derive an original root or setof roots to a phrase, you’ll stand a much better chance of figuring out how old it is.
its odd, i never asked for the origin of יהוה I was just curious if there were others that are common mispronunciations. I speak Hebrew, and as a jew and a thology student I’m sure that the only reason theyre are no vowels is because it is a sin to speak יהוה name out loud so i figured they made it have no vowels so it would be impossible.
i know of several words that are common mispronunciations like avacato and such.
You said that it has no vowels because it is a sin to say the name, but It was my understanding that no ancient Hebrew words had vowels. Am I mistaken? Also, how does anyone know if it is a mispronunciation if you don’t know the correct one. My belief is that God wouldn’t have given us his name if he didn’t want us to use it, and I also believe that he has the power to make sure we have at least a close enough pronunciation for our language. All through the bible it speaks of the “sanctification of his name” How would he expect us to sanctify his name with out knowing it? I know this wasn’t your question but it brought up questions of my own.
Ancient Hebrew is not in question that was the case long before the Torah was written. The 4 books do have vowels, when written, in fact modern hebrew you usually don’t use vowels unless its foreign words or foreign names. But the Torah is written with the vowel points as well as other points for musical tone.
And, it is a mispronunciation, because the letters used would not sound like “Jehovah” at all. they just got י mixed J when it sounds like Y, and they got ו mixed up with V when it sounds like W, common mistake from translation. The closest pronunciation would be close to YaHWaH.
above all it is a mispronunciation because it is pronounced.
side note. Jesus is a mispronunciation of יהושע which is actually pronounced Yehoshua. But that is mostly due to the fact that the christian bible was first translated to Greek where they translated יהושע to Ίησους (“Iēsous” incase you cant read Greek.)
Your point about Jesus was something I was leading to. He could have been called Yeshua or Yehoshua or even something slightly different. The point is he wasn’t called Jesus, but that is typical of bible names. Moses wasn’t called moses either, and so on, but that is no reason not to use the name we are familiar with. It is true that it was commanded that Jehovah’s name was not to be used in a worthless way, but never was it written that it should not be used. It is not a sin to utter the name in a sincere way.
lol im not upset or anything man, i was just tellin you. i ll have one, but in person is better, some people get offended to easily so i keep them separate fro my other discussions.
You guys are not realizing how the jumping in & jumping on has reached a fever pitch, it is just a little too much. Regular visitor newbie, who cares? It is driving this site down not up, and people are getting pissed-off about it—as was I.
I think the concepts GHOST/SPIRIT and GOD/SPIRIT are the same. It’s about the magic of the machine, as if a machine was a creation of God. And indeed it is. If we admit that God is the creator of creators then machines also are the children of God. That means that God is for Science with Conscience.
It’s a book by Arthur Koestler- ” The Ghost in the Machine”.
It refers to the urge of self destruction- the streak of insanity that runs throughout the worlds history. Example; a great cathederal that has gargoyles decorating it.
William Gibson wrote about it also but it had to do with a latent intelligent/thinking computer persona that lived in a main frame.
Unfortunately or fortunately,this depends on the single point of view,practising skinny diping in France or in Italy(the two countries where i live most of the year) turns out to be the best cure against PRIAPISM and the best antidote for viagra …i definetely think that you can easily figure out why! So the best place for practising such a nice,healthy and pleasant activity is the open see far from the coast,diving from a boat….
Marina, You said you post videos when the current one reaches 24? perhaps you have already explained this, but is there a reason why YouChoose the number 24?
Because I make the new video a response to the old video as that video hits the most viewed page.. it helps drive traffic to the new video. I pick #24 as by the time the new video as uploaded and processed, my previous video may have hit the most viewed page by then.
If I waited for any of my videos to reach #24 of anything I probably would be waiting a very long time. As, sadly I do not posses the brains or the looks do that.
Come to think,
Maybe that Guy has a point? ( ferasbayern )
Marina is just to damn smart, not to be an AMERICAN.
The more I think about it, He is probably right??
Such intelligence and beauty can ONLY come from the USA.
?The way of that he is speaking the English.?
I can see how he would think, She is a fake.
She is just to good at what She does……
Well Educated and Beautiful
Make sense now.
Giving you the opportunity to discuss with others your opinion on how Marina makes a living is a threat. XD !!
Going to all the trouble to come to Her Personal Web site to complain about How She makes a living. About how upsetting it is that She should have the gal to advertise on Her videos. Makes You …what?
You inconsequential little man ( or Lady, I should not assume you have balls ) You are not being respectful . You are being petty and small. The fact is, Marina needs to make a living and if that means She needs to put adds on Her site , Then so be it. And if some weaselly little person is disturbed by it, So be that too. You are not the first person to come here and complain about this, No, Whinning tubers come here to complain all the time. Spoiled XXXers, All about ME, ME, ME. Like this ass hole!
Funny message to me on YouTube: ( MARINA )
Do you really think that everyone believes you are Russian??? Its funny that your not you even prove it when you speak. If you really are into Linguistics, then your viewers would know where you really come from and you are not russian. Anyone witha good ear can hear your real accent in your voice. You are a fake and a fraud. You are damn hot Ill give you that though.
I guess he’s figured me out! Darn! [ Marina say DAMN we will not fault you.]
So do you see the kind of Crap She has to put up with every day. And YOU would Deny Her a paycheck????
Bye Bye The bus Back to tuberville is leaving.

This site is playing …….F%$&!!,
this is to radiofreekrypton replied on July 16th, 2008 8:50 am:
A reply made about how Marina conducts Her videos.
sorry it’s in the wrong place.
If you’d bother to read the initial post… the ads on her SITE are no problem… its the commercials in her podcasts that are.
I’m sure Marina feels protected from my opinion by your chest thumping and posturing… You’re a SpikeTV kind of guy.
I’m not blocking her from making money, but part of that commerce model is going to be that people won’t put up with certain types of things.
You want to be a kiss ass… Fine. I have balls enough to make my opinion known.
And by the way, my comment was for Marina, her opinion of it is all that matters… not some suck-up eunuch’s.
I downloaded the vampire podcast and didnt see an ad? ALSO (im writing in caps now, just cos i can) YOU CAN FAST FORWARD THINGS ON IPODS ETC YOU ARE NOT FORCED TO WATCH IT WHY NOT WATCH IT ON HERE IF YOU ARE THAT BO (bored of caps now) thered? when you say buh-bye
suck-up eunuch’s want to be a kiss ass
the commercials in her podcasts that are???
I will S_L_O_W down. It is How She makes a Living.
And by the way, my comment was for Marina, her opinion of it is all that matters. ……..?????? Really? Now you care about want She thinks?
It sounded like you were giving Her ultimatum, Stop or I leave!
Bye Bye my little friend don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
I will give a last face saving attack.
And then I going to drop this. OK?
It’s getting boring. [ sigh ]
wait minute what did you say ? RRR do you suffer from something or maybe you’ve got fever i think inside your self you are so happy because she considered you like human and you want to use this opportunity to make showing off to be her enemy…… i think you are A BIG LOSER..oh …wait… the Accents Expert do like this name you failed in your career about accents field but don’t worry i have job for you its frat expert i think its will be suitable for you just you listen to the frat and you must now from where its come from i hope you will not find fake Russian frat
You translator is all frat-ed up. Amigo. Tu estúpido , ?NO?
Maybe you can get Marina to prof-read your insults, so you will not look like such a fool…. Say Hi to Mr. Putin
RRR
Foolish American
I think he is trying to agree with me that she is a good influence on us.
but he thinks I am attacking Marina? OR?
My Russian is not up to par.
Sorry If I missed the point with you..
You need to read my post more carefully.
I am not the hitter.
Thats all it is James, it just a quick link to utube. It will probably come in handy if you want to find a clip of something and paste in on here. Just click on his avatar.
for me i don’t now but i want to ask u you don’t have any thing els to do i see you reply every comment i have never seen you logout i think you have very very wast of time you don’t know what to do about it
Hold on a minute, I wasn’t being nasty. I can assure you I have logged out before, for things such as going out and sleeping. I don’t reply to everything either. finally, yes I do spend most of the day on here, and I am not the only one. And??
This is what most of us do is comment back to others who have commented to us. Over a two or three day period many people will comment to your comment and so on. It’s all in fun and jokes. If you have noticed there quite a few of us that comment alot to each other. We know these people from all the time we spend on here from where they live to their first names, any family that they have. It’s like a big family over here, some don’t want to be in that family, but we still get along. So join us in our happy merryment.
There has been a massive amount of knee-jerk over-commenting & that was/has been the issue over this last spell. Someone drops a “P” and ten people jump in, not fun, not clever, not smart but in they come, and never mind what happens when a “Q” hits the floor.
When a man goes skinny dipping in cold water he may get a badoinka, this is a condition due to shrinkage of the penis. The name came from the imaginary sound it would make when you flick it with your finger, ‘badoink,’ ‘badoink’
Yes when your younger it looks up at you in the morning all proud, but when we get onder it wants to look at our feet kinda sad looking. Poor thing it goes through changes just like everything else.
Hello Marina. I have a word request for the word ‘Together’. I have wondered where the word came from ever since I was a child. I mean if the words are separated it becomes ‘To get her’ which is just nonsense as the 3 words put together is not related to the word ‘Together’ in my opinion. Please enlighten me!
Do you really think that everyone believes you are Russian??? Its funny that your not you even prove it when you speak. If you really are into Linguistics, then your viewers would know where you really come from and you are not russian. Anyone witha good ear can hear your real accent in your voice. You are a fake and a fraud. You are damn hot Ill give you that though.
doesn’t matter if you Russian or not or you do fake accent …because
what you do for us its not fake you do special work com from person has UNFAKABLE heart
People believe &/or say anything in this medium and the ignorance is either too funny or pathetic, thank God for funny ’cause pathetic sometimes seems too widespread.
Hey dude sorry about the mixup on you know what. Are you feeling better today. I hope the foot gets better. I have roughly the same problems with one of my elbows.be cool.
So the plot thickens! Fooled me M, what accent does he/ she mean? you may have picked up some local californian twang (supposing you live there that is!) – keep us guessing
Skinny Dipping eh, yep, have a couple of stories on that subject Never one for being too easliy embarrased ended up at some massive house for drinks with a few people after the local pub. We were all butt knaked enjoying the moment. We were all having so much fun when suddenly the outside security lights went on and this old man, to boot with shot gun, shouting get out or I’ll call the police!! A wee bit lathered on booze and other things, laughed thinking it was all some kinda joke and ignored him. The boys in blue arrived, arrested us, hand cuffed us, no clothes as grumpy old man took them (guess he wanted to have a letch at the girls, or us boys if he batted that way!). Half a dozen or so of us, high as you like not a care in the world and all knaked in the back of this police wagon singing, being taken to the clink. Next day, a bit hungover, soon realised we had actualy gone into the wrong house!! Should have been the house next door as mates parents were away. The grumpy old man remembered me from the local lesuire club and showed other club members photos of us being taken away. Its amazing what cold water mixed with various intoxications can do to a mans loins!! That was a wee bit embarrasing as working in the gymnasium, all fit and body beautiful showing a somewhat, relunctant form shall we say.
Have skinny dipped plenty of times, why not? In the West Indies once, thought I had the privacy of the beach being 4am with a girl I met only soon to realise when the sun came up we were only a few yards from a bar with most of the locals included!!! They kindly gave back my shorts and gave me freebies all day, laughing their nuts off saying something to the effect of ‘ we watch ya lil white honkey butt glowing in the moon light all night long, irie!’ Victor and Marcia (Hello ) the bar owners and I still keep intouch. They phone occasionaly just to laugh again and recal that night, love ‘em for that too
That is funny…guess Mr. smarty man figured it all out…well, the partys over now!…dang-it!! …funny how he implied that he knew where you were “really” from but failed to share it with the rest of the world and expose well planned ruse…
In no way do I agree with this guy, but I have heard inconsistencies in your accent. I have just chalked that up to going back and forth between languages. He gives too much credit, because I don’t believe anyone could fake a Russian accent as well as you do, if you were indeed faking. I am glad you can let stupid comments slide off your back. I wish I could.
Living in America now has probably weakened her accent a little. She is getting Californiaized. If she would go back to Russia and visit her family and friends for awhile it would get stronger. A poor mans observation.
Good point Geronimo, never thought of it that way. I was going by the background and the resturant BlueJam she spoke of and of eating there. But she could be anywhere really. Even in Russia.
He also forgot to mention that you faked the GT4 (Molotov Cocktail) video which was over dubbed by Borat (that’s a nice) and that you faked the pictures from Russia and you faked trying to pronounce “video”. Dang your good.
Hey, newbies, I am kidding….
Thanks Marina for sharing that with us. That was precious.
I was thinking the same thing. That Marina has spoken Russian on several videos. As for accents, I speak both English and French, and sometimes one can influence the other when jumping back and forth. To opine that Marina is not Russian is just ludicrous.
Someone needs to give her a link to a Bullwinkle cartoon so she knows what the We are asking Her do . ? Ok Here this is it Marina You will better understand if you research it here.
Quote from confused YouTuber – “You are damn hot Ill give you that though.”
Response – It is very hard to disagree with the sentiments of that statement, but the grammar could be improved upon. Marketing potential for ‘whitesmoke’
First time I went to the US, getting through customs was difficult.
I didn’t understand the officer’s accent and she didn’t understand mine.
But we were both speaking English, I think?
I have a tattoo of an ‘M’ on each cheek of my butt, so when O bend over it reads ‘MOM’, but when I stand on my head it says ‘WOW’ Just kidding. I also would like to know how this word came about.
Back in my mid-20’s I had a skinny dip with two female friends of mine. That may sound hot, but it was all quite platonic. Being nude is the natural state for people, after all…
its natural alright ,but still ive not been walking around outside in the nude since i was a little pest.
arent you afraid you get a boner and people look at ya lol
Errin, if you don’t ever reply to anyone else would you please answer one question. You can even leave the answer on my U Tube site. Mikemx32. The question is are you male or female. Just curious. Yes I know curiosity kill the cat but nine lives brought him back.
By the way Marina !
Do you know that men swimming naked on their back can see their little bird litterally trying to fly away.
I think it’s because tweetwee is fat and a fat tweetwee is lighter than any other part of the body.
Hello, everyone! Here is half naked felicity from the tropical Japan. Speaking of having to do with skin, have you ever seen a steaking anywhere in public? or have you done that? Anyone?
Yes, two friends and I streaked a crowded college cafeteria once. We wore paper bags over our faces with holes cut out so we could see. It was excting but our route had been carefully planned so that there would be clothes waiting at the other side of the building. We didn’t get caught, but someone did shoot a few photos and they put one picture in their school paper.
I think you are amazing! That sounds really exciting and fun. It’s absolutely worth a try. It must be like a Kamikaze attack. Well, I have to get up the courage enough to do that, but I don’t want to get arrested for an indecent exposure…..
That is too funny. You did it in a college setting much better, my brother’s was high school and they were recognized, like, two steps into the cafeteria–they broke rule #1 before they even started. I was pretty young & wasn’t suppose to know anything about it…but even in my elementary school kids talked about it. My attitude was, ‘He did what? Oh, cool.’ circa 1974
My brother did the same as pennsyltucky9 just got caught/recognized. He was Senior class President and Valedictorian, they didn’t know what to do, so they gave him four days ‘off’, stripped him (sorry) of his valedictorian title but still let him give the speech.
Second rule: have an escape plan, an alternate escape plan, and fall-back plan involving some trusted friends strategically placed for protection or momentary diversion, and
I don’t know if I would or not. It would take all of the mystery out of what she looks like now. I like a woman with a little bit of cloths on so you can wonder what the rest looks like.
What ROT! Mystery!
There is no mystery any more, as you can find out by buying any top shelf magazine – there can’t even be anyone left in the world who thinks that Chinese girls have a horizontal smile instead of a vertical one.
A woman’s mystery is between her ears – that’s what is fascinating about them.
When I was in high school my friends brother streaked through the cafeteria with a bag over his head, but everyone knew who it was anyway and he got caught. Very funny though. He just got suspended for a few days.
I have one simular to that but it involves a chicken. When I was in diapers and sitting on the back porch in a cloth diaper my johnson was hanging out the side and a chicken came up and pecked it. I cried alot also. I guess thats why they call it a pecker.
Skinny dipping is dangerous around this area of the world, too many big alligator snapping turtles! I’ve seen a big one that a friend caught, snap a broomstick clean in two! Whoa . . . makes you stop and think!
Could it be that “shrinkage” that occurs when swimming is a natural defense against snappers and other hungry denizens of the deep?
I am not an English speaker. I had more unsuccessful attempts to learn. But you Marina convinced me to strive.
I hope my forthcoming comments to be more accurate.
heyy
was wondering, could you do a definition of strawberry please?
does it have anything to do with straw?? why the berry? i mean blueberry is blue…^_^
x
Blueberries are not blue.. They are a purple-ish colour. No naturally edible food is blue. Blue things are poisonous to humans, thats why people don’t really like to buy blue thing because, instinctively, they are seen as being bad for you.

Oh come on Bob doesn’t a woman in a short skirt interest you more than seeing one completely nude? Kinda gets your mind to wondering.
It depends entirely on the woman and her own perception of herself. If she believes she is sexy, she will arouse interest whether she’s naked or wearing a Burqa.
A woman who does not think she is sexy, or one who thinks that sex is “dirty”, will telegraph that feeling to whoever sees her and will be a turn-off, no matter how ravishing or “stacked” she is.
Oh gawd….XD

I always look forward to your new videos. When I am out working in the back of my property, where I have a pond. Many times I will strip down and take a dip. After a long hot day working outside it is so refreshing to swim (skinny dipping) for a while.
We would be skinny dip all the time in my youth. It was thought of as more natural than naughty. I run into a friend at class reunions and the like, and it is always one of the first things she wants to talk about. Lots of swimming holes and creeks growing up. Not so many funny memories as those of simpler, more carefree times.
I must say I am a dirty French. One day, er, several times I swam naked in the sea and…I…made my poo…
I must say it’s very funny because suddenly you feel less alone swimming because of course a poo is not a submarine and must breathe.
A small outfit you may have heard of, called the British Empire. Back in the day they came up with all sorts of wierd ideas about stuff, although to be fair, they weren’t the first to come up with the idea. Another good one was ‘terra nullius’, ‘land belonging to no-one.(No-one important at least.)
Does Hotforwords discuss the political aspects of words very often? It’s pretty interesting, although it would make for longer videos.
Oh I see ya,
Some of the boys like to play in the deep end of the sand box. Others not so much.
There is no up in outer space. And on Earth the top of your head is up. Had those with the say lived in the southern hemisphere, the south pole would be the top of the World. ..?
Technically, I could say yes, but as my country is still part of the British commonwealth, I could probably still be shot for treason or subversion for saying so.
Wow – harsh!
Here in America if you commit treason
during a war, even, it’s just a wrist slap.
they just don’t enforce the law anymore
otherwise, you’d have to hang most of

No. It’s a myth. People still believe this In england the death penalty was abolished years ago, THAT INCLUDES TREASON. I sorta hope they bring it back for terrorisim though
Dearest Teacher;
I’m so sorry, I used to love your podcast, the content was always interesting and you, of course, are gorgeous; however, the increasing encroachment of advertising (most especially for that low-brow, lame SpikeTV excuse for a comedy, ‘Factory’) has left me annoyed and disappointed.
I understand that you have ads on your site, that is common practice, but these podcast ads take away my time and enjoyment of your content.
If they continue… I will be forced to un-subscribe to HotForWords.
Sorry, nothing personal, it’s just business.
Yours respectfully: radiofreekrypton.
PS. If you wish to contact me, you have my e-mail on file
Wow, radio-FREEkryton.
I’m so sorry, …….. YoUr So DiSplEaSeD ……….XD

podcast ads take away MY time and enjoyment
the increasing encroachment of advertising ie Your need to make a living and pay your Bills is not important to me as long as you give up your time to make me Happy. (most especially for that low-brow, lame SpikeTV excuse for a comedy, ‘Factory’) has left me annoyed and disappointed. ME ME and ME! Enough about ME Lets talk about what you think about ME! PS. If you wish to contact me, you have my e-mail on file
No I do not have youR email, give it to me and I will drop you a line
And Maybe some of the other fellas would like to say Hi too.
Listen pal… MY opinion was given respectfully and without malice.
Whether you like it OR NOT its my opinion and it will be voiced (in this case written).
No, you moronic Jack-Hole, I don’t think that losing one subscriber will make a damns bit of difference to Marina, and I only wish her continued success; but I also believe that anyone who is producing a product of any kind wants, nay, NEEDS to understand the needs and opinions of those people how are patrons of said product.
Oh, and by the way you pissy little flame jockey…
“No I do not have youR email, give it to me and I will drop you a line
And Maybe some of the other fellas would like to say Hi too.”
Personal threats?!… over the internet?!… what are you, like 13 years old? Get off it… You’re making me soooo incredibly nervous, I’ll have to pay the paperboy to start my computer in the morning, just in case you’ve wired it with C4… Ha Ha Ha Ha
To James:
In media, one person who takes the time and effort to write in is counted as 1000 listeners or viewers who don’t, can’t or won’t take the time to do so.
Whether you like it or not… I’m NOT alone.
I just took the time to speak up.
Is there some way you can kick idiots like this off. Whats threatening?? Maybe some people might like to say hi. Thats hardly threatning. Jeez lighten up about it. Your not alone.. ? .. urm.. yes…yes you are
I don’t get the podcast, so what happens?
The ads. on the site here, I don’t even see, well except the “White Smoke”, wouldn’t want to lose that one. The annoying & disappointing stuff??? can’t you block it? just wondering, what’s with the podcasts…
The advertising keeps things moving forward & paid for, although they might not be to my taste, somebody else is paying for my education. So I’m cool with any ads…almost any.
I’m confused when you say “just business”.
sounds more like a personal preference.
you could always get Reify Turnabout!
blocks page ads quite well. kills banners, too
and it’s programable if you want to keep
seeing ads like Whitesmoke (scripting).
get proactive, don’t just complain!
PEACE
I sent one of your videos to a female friend and she responded saying
Thats Porn! I tried to tell her otherwise and then wondered if you have ever investigated the word pornography (not according to your list). It might be interesting !I could even send it to her.
is your friend a real girl, or just cyber?
Does she go to church once or twice a day?
sounds like a programmed response and
no actual thinking involved as clearly
Marina’s video’s are not porn. a cyber
wouldn’t know the difference.
When I was about 6, my grandpa and uncle made a bet centered around if I could float in a 5 gallon bucket… Still having a full days work to do on the farm, my grandpa wouldn’t let me get wet and muddy and climb in his equipment to tag along so skinny it was. Needless to say, the bucket tipped quickly after stepping into it off the deck starting skinny dipping experience #1.
Skinnydipping on Waikiki at 4am on Jan 19, 1971 and getting arrested by 5/0 and having to get bailed out by the CO,,,you don’t understand what I said most likely but we were having fun and the CO was having fits. Just back from “warzone” and short timered, the careing part of our characters was lost (likely forever) and…finding out clothes left somewhere on the beach at that time was tedius to say the least, and fun. The folks at 5/0 HQ were not amused but put up with us…long story short we are all still here and living fine.
I have a cedar canoe & it could tell some stories, bought it not long after highschool finished. Lots of lakes explored & found some pretty remote places to swim in my skin… with my, now wife, Mary.
We were also environmentaly concious, before it was popular, as we cruised around some lakes we would pretty much fill the canoe with discarded beer bottles that floated along the waterline, must have been a habbit in the day to chuck the empties into the water. We helped fund our Honeymoon with the returns. We have a pool now & although skinny dipping is discouraged in our neighbourhood, there has been the odd occasion, when no kids were around & the neighbourhood was evacuated, as it were, the pool would then becon us to dipp, although skinny no more… still fun & the trees around the pool have a privacy rating that is quite excellent.
…I must check that old canoe out for leaks soon & do some more exploring with my wife. Thanks again for the nice little vid. & y’know, your videos stir up imagination as well as memories which lead to ideas, which for me are…blank… ahha i have an Idea, gtg. Cheers
From The Southern States of USA, as for the meaning of the word, hmmm i think i know but I won’t of course tell you because I don’t want to take a word from Marina if she wants to do it, however I would like to know myself, if nothing else to just find out if I am right or if I am not then I want to know. Even cooler would be to make a game out of it! If so, I could tell Marina my theory to be one of the possibilities! Marina, if you do a game of Moonshine, ask me my theory!!!
here’s a good example labbatt78’s Gravatar
looks like a “Crab People” from South Park.
His comment “…I love to hang out at the spa…”
Laughter is KEELING me!
the skinny dipping was back on fashion in the late 60’s with the hippie way, one of the things that they promoted was to be in contact with the nature since they were going back to the origins; and skinny dipping is more for women than for men since there is any real moral rule against a man swimming naked
Well it’s true Bob. I have not skinny dipped yet to tell you the truth. If any female to my liking asks me to go skinny dipping with her then I’ll do it.
Word request for a future lesson on the word “palindrome” , which you can help your students relate to your new RACECAR shown in a recent lesson. Your need for a RADAR detector to keep your EYE out for the cops as you pass them while you TOOT your horn. You get my point… I almost forgot SOLUTOMAATTIMITTAAMOTULOS
Thanks for pointing out the obvious by checking the list first prior to clogging up the comments. You are a better student than me as I’ve failed to due any of my homework to date. I even had to look Gravatar as I’m not as online savvy as some here I guess, but when it comes to common sense that different story. BTW – who are you behind really those dark glasses?
Marina,
You probably shouldn’t be taking word requests from #1 students who fail the basics rules, but how about the word Epiphany. This is how I felt when I requested Palindrome as my DOB is one.
I went skinny dipping once when I was younger. It was out in a public lake, but it was early in the morning and no one was there. It was kinda funny because the whole family was skinny dipping. My brother, my mom, step-dad and me. The water in the lake was dark so we didn’t see anything. Anyway, we left all of out cloth on a floating dock in the middle of this small lake and swam around. Well, my step-dad thought it would be funny to fake like he was dropping my swimming trunks into the lake (it was probably 50 or so feet deep). Well, as he was messing around, he really did drop my shorts and they got lost. By this time, the lake was really busy and there were hundreds of people around. No one in my family wanted to get me shorts and bring them back, so… I had to run naked in front of ever
If you’re fat you “chunky dunk”…u make too much of a splash to be “dipping”.
I went skinny dipping last year (2008) and the girls i were with stole my suit instead of joining me like they said they would.
Hey, your symbol looks alot like Ursusarticus’s. Are y’all related?
Soul springing and nude swimming, I should learn them both. It leads me to suggest or a look back at colonial times; when Russia also ruled part of the United States of America, and to think a vice-president was almost elected from Alaska. God be with You
Marina why don’t you and your sister do a word together sometime?
Yes, I skinny dipped in my younger days. Now I chunky dunk.
yes I have, is so much better then with a suit on.
no
Years ago, my girlfriend and I were staying at a lake house. It was very late at night, and after a few drinks we decided to go down to the dock and go skinny dipping. We had not seen anyone else around all day so we assumed that no one was there that night. It was not a private dock. So after spending a rather festive time swimming around, we saw a boat headed into the dock. By the time we were sure the boat was headed to that particular dock, it was too late to get out of the water safely, and protect our modesty. Our only option was to hide under the dock, and hope they did not linger long. They did see the stack of clothes we had left, and after discussing why there was a pile of clothes and no people they left. We let them get safely away then got dressed and went back to the cabin.
If it ever comes up in our lessons, I will tell the story about skinny dipping in a public pool.
Of course, we were kind of hoping you would at least wear a bikini in this video. Or a monikini. Or a nadakini.
I’ve skinny dipped twice in my life. Once in a swimming pool at night. The other time in broad daylight off the coast of Spain (Llança). It was the summer of 1992, and Barcelona was getting ready to host the Olympic Games (I also visited Barcelona on that trip). So I think my Mediterranean skinny dipping was probably a logical extension of my thinking about the Olympics.
My father used to skinny dip on hunting trips. Some kind of hunter’s ritual, I guess.
If you haven’t tried skinny dipping, it really is a wonderful experience. But you have to avoid the anxiety of being seen (unless you don’t care).
I don’t remember if I ever went skinny dipping.
The second thing to go when you get old is your memory I forget what the first thing is.

i was skinny-dipping in my child days with my classmate in the small river. haha, i never had skinny dip when i am growing. i hope to have a skinny dip ,it is certainly exciting.
especially with you. ok ?
Yes, I have skinny dipped with a girlfriend ages ago on vacation in South Carolina. Ahhh…. to be young and crazy again….
Oh yes,I skinny dipped,was years ago in a trout stream,I have a vivid memory of reaching around to Her front and —————————cool,wet —————slippery———————lived to tell the tale.
If you’re skinny dipping in the creek,
and something bites you on the butt cheek,
that’s amore!
Shall we BLOG? What does this word really mean and what is it’s history? This is a great concept in learning, I give YOU credit.
So what’s with the word “Testimony”
i’d like to ask for the term – “Dude” and “Wack”
I skinny dipped much as a child, and into young adulthood.
I’m wondering where does the word ”grief” come from ?
Word Request? What about “Sue” as in I think “I will sue Ben and Jerry’s for making me fat!”
Good point, if you marry a girl called ‘Sue’, are just looking for legal trouble?
I’m new and only been on a time or two but I’ve noticed in this short time that there seems to be a lot of bad attitude from some folks. I know that some of this is to be expected but c’mon man! I thought this is supposed to be a fun place.
I’m a little vexed that my gravitar aint workin yet, but hey, the fate of the universe aint hangin’ in the balance here!
Hey capman, I think you and I are in the same neck of the woods!
Me three.
Hey Marina, can you investigate the term “Clean as a Whistle”? How did a whistle come to be so clean?
Thanks
~Rocknroll_drummer
Maybe it’s because if a whistle is not clean from the inside it sounds bad or it’s not making sound at all?
I started trying Fire Fox 3.0. I can’t get but half of the gravatars to show up. I emptied my cache and history and restarted the isp but it still doesn’t work. Any help
Were you using 2.6 before? This computer was using 2.0 and then yesterday Mozilla sent me 2.6. Every thing is Okee dokee here.
Here is the video called the marinabook air (I am such a suck up) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4xfOx6ruVE
Cool video James. I’ll give you a fiver or better.
What’s a marinabook air
Have you watched it?
Yes sir I did and your accent is crackin. (Thats a good thing)
My accent is crackin? whats that mean. sorry being slow agian
Crackin as in meaning “cool”,”nice”, or “fun”. Sorry, I’m used to using some slang coming from where I’m living.
Oh its cracking. I thought u meant cracking as in cracking like a window would. HA. No my accent is british. I live in Dorset which is a country sounding accent (although I dont live in the countryside) And I think its recognized everywhere as being the pirate accent arrrrrrrgh welcumz to darzat!
He was referring to the crackin’ in your foot!
Lostforwords left!! I thought I hadn’t heard from her lately. What happened??
Sorry Marina
Love you, therefor my video will now be called Marinabook air.
Im such a suck up

My word request: mastrubation
Man there is a lot of testosteron flying around today. Maybe something to do with skinny dipping, or a lack there of.
The flow seems to have drifted from skinny dippin a bit
Can you guys be a little more pleasant to others on here PLEASE???
Every day I have people who were MAJOR contributors to the site telling me to cancel and delete their accounts!
I appreciate you all sticking up for me… but PLEASE don’t get into flame wars with people who I enjoyed having around here..
We lost lostforwords the other day and now someone else is leaving.
really?? that’s bad
i really enjoy this page
hope others don’t fuck up things (sorry for slang)
Don’t blame everyone it only me ……..!!
i have a problem with weaselly little people crapping where i play…. sorry
But you are fine with it , OK. OK. Not another word
Tell your sponsors you killed me.
And make me proud
He said he was leaving before anyone said anything to him. I agree about the civility, but sometimes it’s just hard when you see someone you like, being criticized or attacked. I will let you fight your own battles.
Sorry I meant this reply to go to Marina.
Or just don’t even get into it. Make words not war.
RRR some of gravatars are not showing up on Fire Fox, what do I need to do?
Oh fasho, but wheres the flame wars at? We all family around here right?
Check further down the comments for today.
Ohhhhh, now I see. PEACE PLEASE
Why did lostforwords leave? I liked him!
I don’t know G, maybe someone else does.
I’ll sign that pledge
i will attempt to be pleasanter…
I came by on the 19th when pulsionsinconscientes was punking you.
That guy was just playing with you. No matter what you would say he just wanted to fight. The nicer you got the more he would stick it to you.
I wanted to jump in, but I would have made it much worse. Just don’t engage him. Tell all of the ” jackals ” don’t engage him.
aLx was up to his crap too. Anyhow give um Hell.
As for me, I was too busy with school (student/teacher) to keep up with all the comments during July and the early part of August, so I have no idea what the “flame wars” are about. i’m trying to catch up with videos now, and I’m glancing at some of the comments, adding a couple here and there. But I don’t have time to see what all the flame war fuss is about. Don’t really care either. My primary purpose here is to learn etymology, adore Marina, and toss in a few bad puns.
I once saved a guys life at Blacks Beach in San Diego while “skinny dipping”.
He was being pulled out to sea by a ripe tide…. Swim with the shore is the solution there… Anyway the United States Navy gave me a commendation and I had some explaining to do to the starter wife…
Maybe I should change my screen name to “lost for words”
hey Marina
i was watching your “bitch” video and i wondered were does the word “lewd” come from
by he way, a pretty old video that one, i’m very sorry about all the videos i haven’t seen, yet
While we’re waiting for Marina to do lewd, how about the word interlude? Wait. Did you ask her to do lewd or be lewd? I need to check your request again….
a funny story about me skinny dipping. Hmmm i can’t think of any haha i guess i dont skinny dip that often. But Marina i would be more than happy to go skinny dipping with you
. Good luck on the next video and please respond i feel like im talking to a wall. BYE.
HAHA just look at this its great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exFk-cxYPmM
That’s funny.. at first I thought you made it James!
Sadly not, I was thinking about doing something like this and giving it an “emperors new clothes” theme, do you think this would be any fun?
great vid lol
Right, I’m off to film my new video. I shall call it the Macbook NotThair
JAJAJAJ ok

I did make it but then thought then thought there wasnt anything special about it. I would be prepared to make it again, but I just didnt think there was much i could do
Miss M could you please do us a favor and say Kill moose and squirrel here is what this all about.
From RRR. Someone needs to give her a link to a Bullwinkle cartoon so she knows what we are asking Her to do . ? Ok Here it is Marina You will better understand if you research it here.

I’ve tried to find a clip of the show where Natasha speaks but no success so far.only this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZtW8QwkwVo
Found one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHUiCYAE2DY
Jehovah! This isn’t really a made up word, but i know it was a mispronunciation in the middle ages because most Europeans didn’t know how to pronounce Hebrew words. So the roughly translated the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH) and pronounced it Jehovah when really it’s unpronounceable because it has no vowels. My question is this, is there any other words that this has happened to in history that has stuck around like Jehovah?
It is Gods name.
No shit! Thats not what i asked, i know that. Im a bloody jew. And I’m a theology student.
A little strong on the come back aren’t you. I was offering a little help like most of us regulars do on this site. But if you don’t want any help then your attitude is on the wrong site. I don’t have a thing against Jews. You haven’t seen anything yet till the rest of the regulars see how you have answered my comment.
Sorry I didnt mean to come off like a schmuck.
I just get really sensitive when it sounds like someone is insulting my intelligence. I just seemed kind of odd that you expected me not to know the most basic definition of the word after i had said of of that. Again I’m sorry.
No problem, I didn’t know if you knew that was his name that is why I offered my only answer. Then someone else could pickup where I left off. By no means do I think you are not intelligent, you wouldn’t be asking such a good question as you did. I just sorry you took me wrong. Good luck with your class. Peace

Sometimes the real origin of a word is buried inside it somewhere but obscured from view by change over time. If this word has been around as long as we think it has, it will have undoubtedly been subject to quite a bit of diachronism.
All words were made up by someone, except perhaps onomatopoeic words that try to imitate the sound or action they describe (knock, sizzle, tap, jingle, crash, etc.) or echoic words that use the sound an animal makes to refer to it. And even those vary widely in different tongues and regions.
Perhaps some diachronic etymological relationships of the separate sounds that comprise the word, regardless of its present lack of vowels, can be found. The word or parts of the word would have to be interpreted by someone fluent in Hebrew and a possible meaning derived.
As a theology student you may answer part of the question this way: Do the separate characters in the word have individual meanings or underlying root associations? What are they, if any, and in how many different ways might they be associated &/or interpreted?
Then look for what’s missing, if anything. Things get lost over time; letters get dropped or words become more streamlined. Whole sentences slowly turn into words, like ‘goodbye’ for example.
Once you derive an original root or setof roots to a phrase, you’ll stand a much better chance of figuring out how old it is.
i know of several words that are common mispronunciations like avacato and such.
***Theology
You said that it has no vowels because it is a sin to say the name, but It was my understanding that no ancient Hebrew words had vowels. Am I mistaken? Also, how does anyone know if it is a mispronunciation if you don’t know the correct one. My belief is that God wouldn’t have given us his name if he didn’t want us to use it, and I also believe that he has the power to make sure we have at least a close enough pronunciation for our language. All through the bible it speaks of the “sanctification of his name” How would he expect us to sanctify his name with out knowing it? I know this wasn’t your question but it brought up questions of my own.
Ancient Hebrew is not in question that was the case long before the Torah was written. The 4 books do have vowels, when written, in fact modern hebrew you usually don’t use vowels unless its foreign words or foreign names. But the Torah is written with the vowel points as well as other points for musical tone.
And, it is a mispronunciation, because the letters used would not sound like “Jehovah” at all. they just got י mixed J when it sounds like Y, and they got ו mixed up with V when it sounds like W, common mistake from translation. The closest pronunciation would be close to YaHWaH.
above all it is a mispronunciation because it is pronounced.
side note. Jesus is a mispronunciation of יהושע which is actually pronounced Yehoshua. But that is mostly due to the fact that the christian bible was first translated to Greek where they translated יהושע to Ίησους (“Iēsous” incase you cant read Greek.)
2nd note, did you know in acient writtings where Hebrew came from there wasn’t even a direction, you would just pick a spot and go, no right to left.
Your point about Jesus was something I was leading to. He could have been called Yeshua or Yehoshua or even something slightly different. The point is he wasn’t called Jesus, but that is typical of bible names. Moses wasn’t called moses either, and so on, but that is no reason not to use the name we are familiar with. It is true that it was commanded that Jehovah’s name was not to be used in a worthless way, but never was it written that it should not be used. It is not a sin to utter the name in a sincere way.
im not going to get in a religious discussion.
Yeah I wouldn’t if I were either. Just kidding calm down.
‘If I were you’ that is.
lol im not upset or anything man, i was just tellin you. i ll have one, but in person is better, some people get offended to easily so i keep them separate fro my other discussions.
You guys are not realizing how the jumping in & jumping on has reached a fever pitch, it is just a little too much. Regular visitor newbie, who cares? It is driving this site down not up, and people are getting pissed-off about it—as was I.
now im really confused
What does the expression “The ghost in the machine” mean?
I think it is Latin : DEUS EX MACHINA ???
yes but what does it mean and how come the word “deus” was translated as “ghost”
because translators suck… i’m studying for translator
ok
I think the concepts GHOST/SPIRIT and GOD/SPIRIT are the same. It’s about the magic of the machine, as if a machine was a creation of God. And indeed it is. If we admit that God is the creator of creators then machines also are the children of God. That means that God is for Science with Conscience.
It’s a book by Arthur Koestler- ” The Ghost in the Machine”.
It refers to the urge of self destruction- the streak of insanity that runs throughout the worlds history. Example; a great cathederal that has gargoyles decorating it.
William Gibson wrote about it also but it had to do with a latent intelligent/thinking computer persona that lived in a main frame.
Unfortunately or fortunately,this depends on the single point of view,practising skinny diping in France or in Italy(the two countries where i live most of the year) turns out to be the best cure against PRIAPISM and the best antidote for viagra …i definetely think that you can easily figure out why! So the best place for practising such a nice,healthy and pleasant activity is the open see far from the coast,diving from a boat….
Marina, You said you post videos when the current one reaches 24? perhaps you have already explained this, but is there a reason why YouChoose the number 24?
Reaches 24 what? Hours?
no, 24 on todays most viewed
Because I make the new video a response to the old video as that video hits the most viewed page.. it helps drive traffic to the new video. I pick #24 as by the time the new video as uploaded and processed, my previous video may have hit the most viewed page by then.
If I waited for any of my videos to reach #24 of anything I probably would be waiting a very long time. As, sadly I do not posses the brains or the looks do that.
Marina, Question not related to your video. ferasbayern, link opens my personal youtube account link when i click on it, why would it do this?
Come to think,
Maybe that Guy has a point? ( ferasbayern )
Marina is just to damn smart, not to be an AMERICAN.
The more I think about it, He is probably right??
Such intelligence and beauty can ONLY come from the USA.
?The way of that he is speaking the English.?
I can see how he would think, She is a fake.
She is just to good at what She does……
Well Educated and Beautiful
Make sense now.
say Hi too.”
Personal threats?!… over the internet?!… what are you, like 13 years old? Get off it…
You’re making me soooo incredibly nervous, I’ll have to pay the paperboy to start my computer in the morning, just in case you’ve wired it with C4… Ha Ha Ha Ha 
Giving you the opportunity to discuss with others your opinion on how Marina makes a living is a threat. XD !!
Going to all the trouble to come to Her Personal Web site to complain about How She makes a living. About how upsetting it is that She should have the gal to advertise on Her videos. Makes You …what?
You inconsequential little man ( or Lady, I should not assume you have balls ) You are not being respectful . You are being petty and small. The fact is, Marina needs to make a living and if that means She needs to put adds on Her site , Then so be it. And if some weaselly little person is disturbed by it, So be that too. You are not the first person to come here and complain about this, No, Whinning tubers come here to complain all the time. Spoiled XXXers, All about ME, ME, ME. Like this ass hole!
Funny message to me on YouTube: ( MARINA )
Do you really think that everyone believes you are Russian??? Its funny that your not you even prove it when you speak. If you really are into Linguistics, then your viewers would know where you really come from and you are not russian. Anyone witha good ear can hear your real accent in your voice. You are a fake and a fraud. You are damn hot Ill give you that though.
I guess he’s figured me out! Darn! [ Marina say DAMN we will not fault you.]
So do you see the kind of Crap She has to put up with every day. And YOU would Deny Her a paycheck????
Bye Bye The bus Back to tuberville is leaving.
I am glade you have a brave 13yr to be your Hero.
RRR
I am here or if you like I can be there to? ie tuberville not under your BED
I know RRR what an idiot, for example look at this reply to me below. See how sensitive people are
This site is playing …….F%$&!!,
this is to radiofreekrypton replied on July 16th, 2008 8:50 am:
A reply made about how Marina conducts Her videos.
sorry it’s in the wrong place.
If you’d bother to read the initial post… the ads on her SITE are no problem… its the commercials in her podcasts that are.
I’m sure Marina feels protected from my opinion by your chest thumping and posturing… You’re a SpikeTV kind of guy.
I’m not blocking her from making money, but part of that commerce model is going to be that people won’t put up with certain types of things.
You want to be a kiss ass… Fine. I have balls enough to make my opinion known.
And by the way, my comment was for Marina, her opinion of it is all that matters… not some suck-up eunuch’s.
Buh-Bye
I downloaded the vampire podcast and didnt see an ad? ALSO (im writing in caps now, just cos i can) YOU CAN FAST FORWARD THINGS ON IPODS ETC YOU ARE NOT FORCED TO WATCH IT
WHY NOT WATCH IT ON HERE IF YOU ARE THAT BO (bored of caps now) thered? when you say buh-bye
I hope you mean
for good xx
suck-up eunuch’s
want to be a kiss ass 
the commercials in her podcasts that are???
I will S_L_O_W down. It is How She makes a Living.
And by the way, my comment was for Marina, her opinion of it is all that matters. ……..?????? Really? Now you care about want She thinks?
It sounded like you were giving Her ultimatum, Stop or I leave!
Bye Bye my little friend don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
I will give a last face saving attack.
And then I going to drop this. OK?
It’s getting boring. [ sigh ]

ferasbayern ,
You translator is all frat-ed up. Amigo. Tu estúpido , ?NO?
Maybe you can get Marina to prof-read your insults, so you will not look like such a fool…. Say Hi to Mr. Putin
RRR
Foolish American
Are these 2 the same person?
I think he is trying to agree with me that she is a good influence on us.
but he thinks I am attacking Marina?
My Russian is not up to par.
Sorry If I missed the point with you..
You need to read my post more carefully.
I am not the hitter.
What the hell? Why is it when I click ferasbayern’s name youtube comes up. or is he just trying to be clever
Thats all it is James, it just a quick link to utube. It will probably come in handy if you want to find a clip of something and paste in on here. Just click on his avatar.
ok i am sorry
for me i don’t now but i want to ask u you don’t have any thing els to do i see you reply every comment i have never seen you logout i think you have very very wast of time you don’t know what to do about it
Hold on a minute, I wasn’t being nasty. I can assure you I have logged out before, for things such as going out and sleeping. I don’t reply to everything either. finally, yes I do spend most of the day on here, and I am not the only one. And??
Come on friend before you jump on James down load a spell check Ok?
This is what most of us do is comment back to others who have commented to us. Over a two or three day period many people will comment to your comment and so on. It’s all in fun and jokes. If you have noticed there quite a few of us that comment alot to each other. We know these people from all the time we spend on here from where they live to their first names, any family that they have. It’s like a big family over here, some don’t want to be in that family, but we still get along. So join us in our happy merryment.
ok i am sorry
Thats cool
There has been a massive amount of knee-jerk over-commenting & that was/has been the issue over this last spell. Someone drops a “P” and ten people jump in, not fun, not clever, not smart but in they come, and never mind what happens when a “Q” hits the floor.
for you marina
What a generous gift.
:
When a man goes skinny dipping in cold water he may get a badoinka, this is a condition due to shrinkage of the penis. The name came from the imaginary sound it would make when you flick it with your finger, ‘badoink,’ ‘badoink’
You’re right ! It’s fantastic how a penis can change it’s size !
So don’t try to impress girls ! The winner is not the bigger but the sweeter !
—>It’s not the pen, it’s the penmanship.
PENMANSHIP ! Nice name !
The pen is mightier “You’re sitting on a goldmine Trebeck”
Yes when your younger it looks up at you in the morning all proud, but when we get onder it wants to look at our feet kinda sad looking. Poor thing it goes through changes just like everything else.
By the way how did we go from skinny dipping to erectile tissue.
It’s like the US economy
one day strong, another day weak 
“from skinny dipping to erectile tissue”
It is BRAIN STORMING !
Good one. I like that. Alot of good ideas are spread around and some bs too. I like the good ideas better.
Pee Pee Mongers
Hello Marina. I have a word request for the word ‘Together’. I have wondered where the word came from ever since I was a child. I mean if the words are separated it becomes ‘To get her’ which is just nonsense as the 3 words put together is not related to the word ‘Together’ in my opinion. Please enlighten me!
Funny message to me on YouTube:
Do you really think that everyone believes you are Russian??? Its funny that your not you even prove it when you speak. If you really are into Linguistics, then your viewers would know where you really come from and you are not russian. Anyone witha good ear can hear your real accent in your voice. You are a fake and a fraud. You are damn hot Ill give you that though.
I guess he’s figured me out! Darn!
If your not Russian then what are you? You sound Russian to me.
He or she must be a newbe 
Keep up the good fake accent. It works for us.
i agree with capman911, love your fake accent
Some people are deaf, some other are idiots
Tell him to go on Wiki and search there, think there is the truth………but who knows, mabe you entered it yourself and realy fool us
I think you are one of those Melmakers, prolly the sister of Alf, and you eat cats the whole day….
doesn’t matter if you Russian or not or you do fake accent …because
what you do for us its not fake you do special work com from person has UNFAKABLE heart
Couldn’t of said it better myself.
People believe &/or say anything in this medium and the ignorance is either too funny or pathetic, thank God for funny ’cause pathetic sometimes seems too widespread.
Hey dude sorry about the mixup on you know what. Are you feeling better today. I hope the foot gets better. I have roughly the same problems with one of my elbows.be cool.
So the plot thickens! Fooled me M, what accent does he/ she mean? you may have picked up some local californian twang (supposing you live there that is!) –
keep us guessing 
Skinny Dipping eh, yep, have a couple of stories on that subject
Never one for being too easliy embarrased ended up at some massive house for drinks with a few people after the local pub. We were all butt knaked enjoying the moment. We were all having so much fun when suddenly the outside security lights went on and this old man, to boot with shot gun, shouting get out or I’ll call the police!! A wee bit lathered on booze and other things, laughed thinking it was all some kinda joke and ignored him. The boys in blue arrived, arrested us, hand cuffed us, no clothes as grumpy old man took them (guess he wanted to have a letch at the girls, or us boys if he batted that way!). Half a dozen or so of us, high as you like not a care in the world and all knaked in the back of this police wagon singing, being taken to the clink. Next day, a bit hungover, soon realised we had actualy gone into the wrong house!! Should have been the house next door as mates parents were away. The grumpy old man remembered me from the local lesuire club and showed other club members photos of us being taken away. Its amazing what cold water mixed with various intoxications can do to a mans loins!! That was a wee bit embarrasing as working in the gymnasium, all fit and body beautiful showing a somewhat, relunctant form shall we say. 
Have skinny dipped plenty of times, why not? In the West Indies once, thought I had the privacy of the beach being 4am with a girl I met only soon to realise when the sun came up we were only a few yards from a bar with most of the locals included!!! They kindly gave back my shorts and gave me freebies all day, laughing their nuts off saying something to the effect of ‘ we watch ya lil white honkey butt glowing in the moon light all night long, irie!’ Victor and Marcia (Hello
) the bar owners and I still keep intouch. They phone occasionaly just to laugh again and recal that night, love ‘em for that too 
have more but have to splash now
be terribly naughty,
M
I think she is Chinese, makeup does wonders for the facade.
That is funny…guess Mr. smarty man figured it all out…well, the partys over now!…dang-it!!
…funny how he implied that he knew where you were “really” from but failed to share it with the rest of the world and expose well planned ruse… 
maybe she’s from outta space and he doesn’t want to scare us, or worst!! maybe he’s from the goverment and wants to keep the secret
In no way do I agree with this guy, but I have heard inconsistencies in your accent. I have just chalked that up to going back and forth between languages. He gives too much credit, because I don’t believe anyone could fake a Russian accent as well as you do, if you were indeed faking. I am glad you can let stupid comments slide off your back. I wish I could.
Living in America now has probably weakened her accent a little. She is getting Californiaized. If she would go back to Russia and visit her family and friends for awhile it would get stronger. A poor mans observation.
That was my point Cap.
Why do you believe she lives is in California?
Good point Geronimo, never thought of it that way. I was going by the background and the resturant BlueJam she spoke of and of eating there. But she could be anywhere really. Even in Russia.
What an idiot.
Authentic fake accent
He also forgot to mention that you faked the GT4 (Molotov Cocktail) video which was over dubbed by Borat (that’s a nice) and that you faked the pictures from Russia and you faked trying to pronounce “video”. Dang your good.
Hey, newbies, I am kidding….
Thanks Marina for sharing that with us. That was precious.
I was thinking the same thing. That Marina has spoken Russian on several videos. As for accents, I speak both English and French, and sometimes one can influence the other when jumping back and forth. To opine that Marina is not Russian is just ludicrous.
Please say moose and squirrel just one time for us.
Someone needs to give her a link to a Bullwinkle cartoon so she knows what the We are asking Her do . ? Ok Here this is it Marina You will better understand if you research it here.
Quote from confused YouTuber – “You are damn hot Ill give you that though.”
Response – It is very hard to disagree with the sentiments of that statement, but the grammar could be improved upon. Marketing potential for ‘whitesmoke’
The rest of what the person says is logically upside down.
e.g “If you really are into Linguistics, then your viewers would know where you really come from”
I would have thought, that it would be the knowledge of the viewers about accents, that would determine where they thought Marina came from.
First time I went to the US, getting through customs was difficult.
I didn’t understand the officer’s accent and she didn’t understand mine.
But we were both speaking English, I think?
i asked for this word before i would like to k
now about { wow } from where its come from ? please : 
I have a tattoo of an ‘M’ on each cheek of my butt, so when O bend over it reads ‘MOM’, but when I stand on my head it says ‘WOW’
Just kidding. I also would like to know how this word came about.
I was going to put that out butt you beat me to it.
Back in my mid-20’s I had a skinny dip with two female friends of mine. That may sound hot, but it was all quite platonic. Being nude is the natural state for people, after all…
its natural alright ,but still ive not been walking around outside in the nude since i was a little pest.
arent you afraid you get a boner and people look at ya lol
It’s really heard for women to get “boners”
mmmmm not for all women its impossible m8
…you know)
lol (some have both ..
sorry errin thought you were a male ,with that great story,
guess i wanted it to be lol
Errin, if you don’t ever reply to anyone else would you please answer one question. You can even leave the answer on my U Tube site. Mikemx32. The question is are you male or female. Just curious. Yes I know curiosity kill the cat but nine lives brought him back.
Female
I see this video on UTube has reached the second page bottom row. Are you going to put out a new one when it reaches the top row or second row?
im to shy to skinny dip
dont you just love her accent, i want a russian girl too
By the way Marina !
Do you know that men swimming naked on their back can see their little bird litterally trying to fly away.
I think it’s because tweetwee is fat and a fat tweetwee is lighter than any other part of the body.
I don’t know about that mine tries to hunt for minnows.
it must be very skinny
It’s like an eel.
After all an eel is very similar to a snake. Women are afraid of snakes ! You know ? After this affair with Eve !
I agree with you one that one.
But they do like a trouser snake.
You too guys are sick
Hello, everyone! Here is half naked felicity from the tropical Japan. Speaking of having to do with skin, have you ever seen a steaking anywhere in public? or have you done that? Anyone?
Yes, two friends and I streaked a crowded college cafeteria once. We wore paper bags over our faces with holes cut out so we could see. It was excting but our route had been carefully planned so that there would be clothes waiting at the other side of the building. We didn’t get caught, but someone did shoot a few photos and they put one picture in their school paper.
I think you are amazing! That sounds really exciting and fun. It’s absolutely worth a try. It must be like a Kamikaze attack. Well, I have to get up the courage enough to do that, but I don’t want to get arrested for an indecent exposure…..
That is too funny.
You did it in a college setting much better, my brother’s was high school and they were recognized, like, two steps into the cafeteria–they broke rule #1 before they even started. I was pretty young & wasn’t suppose to know anything about it…but even in my elementary school kids talked about it. My attitude was, ‘He did what? Oh, cool.’ circa 1974
Check out this video Felicity some nudity envolved
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v978i6K-Ho
That is the funniest thing ever. I love the loss of all professionalism.
If you do get the nerve. don’t forget to youtube it.
My brother did the same as pennsyltucky9 just got caught/recognized. He was Senior class President and Valedictorian, they didn’t know what to do, so they gave him four days ‘off’, stripped him (sorry) of his valedictorian title but still let him give the speech.
Rule one of streaking: don’t be recognized.
Second rule: have an escape plan, an alternate escape plan, and fall-back plan involving some trusted friends strategically placed for protection or momentary diversion, and
Third rule is: refer to rule one.
I would LOVE to see a picture of Marina skinny dipping!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know if I would or not. It would take all of the mystery out of what she looks like now. I like a woman with a little bit of cloths on so you can wonder what the rest looks like.
What ROT! Mystery!
There is no mystery any more, as you can find out by buying any top shelf magazine – there can’t even be anyone left in the world who thinks that Chinese girls have a horizontal smile instead of a vertical one.
A woman’s mystery is between her ears – that’s what is fascinating about them.
When I was in high school my friends brother streaked through the cafeteria with a bag over his head, but everyone knew who it was anyway and he got caught. Very funny though. He just got suspended for a few days.
I don’t know why my story posted here instead of the previous streaking comments. Oh well.
Marina, this is the best funny story that i could come up with.
When i was 2 i went skinny dipping in the sea and rock-pools and a crab pinched my…… well, you get the idea.
and i 
and i 
So i
cause it hurt bad
I have one simular to that but it involves a chicken. When I was in diapers and sitting on the back porch in a cloth diaper my johnson was hanging out the side and a chicken came up and pecked it. I cried alot also. I guess thats why they call it a pecker.
Ow! Talk about winning the pullet surprise! LMAO
Well technically it should be should be called a peckee, as it was pecked by a pecker.
Skinny dipping is dangerous around this area of the world, too many big alligator snapping turtles! I’ve seen a big one that a friend caught, snap a broomstick clean in two! Whoa . . . makes you stop and think!
Could it be that “shrinkage” that occurs when swimming is a natural defense against snappers and other hungry denizens of the deep?
At the lake we used to skinny dip in there were ducks that had at least one foot eaten off by the bigger turtles.
I wouldn’t want to swim in those waters even fully dressed.
word request: “going comando”
as in when you go without wearing underwear

What does “MAXIM” mean?
Why would a radio station or magazine call itself: MAXIM Rado or MAXIM Magazine?
I am looking forward to my trusty Hotforwords to investigate this mystery and let her inquiring students know.
~Purrington
Hint: Maxim, is just a shortened version of the word maximum. Biggest, Most, Etc.
I am not an English speaker. I had more unsuccessful attempts to learn. But you Marina convinced me to strive.
I hope my forthcoming comments to be more accurate.
heyy
was wondering, could you do a definition of strawberry please?
does it have anything to do with straw?? why the berry? i mean blueberry is blue…^_^
x
and a raspberry is …
Blueberries are not blue.. They are a purple-ish colour. No naturally edible food is blue. Blue things are poisonous to humans, thats why people don’t really like to buy blue thing because, instinctively, they are seen as being bad for you.
…raspy.
What about snozberries?
James, may ask where you came up with the notion, blue things are poisonous?
Minions? Am I a minion?
Your just a mini-minion.
wouldn’t want ‘im to be mini-me…
oh, wait…i’m okay…
so, James, you can be Mini-Me…
A mini-minion??
And Marina is a multi-minionaire.
What ROT! Mystery!
There is no mystery any more, as you can find out by buying any top shelf magazine – there can’t even be anyone left in the world who thinks that Chinese girls have a horizontal smile instead of a vertical one.
A woman’s mystery is between her ears – that’s what is fascinating about them.
Oh come on Bob doesn’t a woman in a short skirt interest you more than seeing one completely nude? Kinda gets your mind to wondering.
It depends entirely on the woman and her own perception of herself. If she believes she is sexy, she will arouse interest whether she’s naked or wearing a Burqa.
A woman who does not think she is sexy, or one who thinks that sex is “dirty”, will telegraph that feeling to whoever sees her and will be a turn-off, no matter how ravishing or “stacked” she is.
I hate raw minions but I love minion rings.
I hope you’re not suggesting burgering any of the minions.
Backs to the wall, Chaps!
Oh gawd….XD
we’re just patrons, here, don’t worry
minion is a long standing joke that
Roadrunmch likes to make about
how some of us are here to serve
and contribute to the cause while
others merely hit-and-run.
a minion is unappreciated
a patron doesn’t worry about it.
Oh, sorry. I am new here anyway. So I don’t know much
I must be a minion then.

I always look forward to your new videos. When I am out working in the back of my property, where I have a pond. Many times I will strip down and take a dip. After a long hot day working outside it is so refreshing to swim (skinny dipping) for a while.
I haven’t done skinny dipping yet. Should try it though.
Ok. so a word request:
Pet Peeves
Wonder what the origin of that word is?
Can you do the word “dulcimer” for me?
Thank you Miss Marina
Yes, I have beeen skinny dipping. But I don’t have a ‘G’ rated skinny dipping stories.
We would be skinny dip all the time in my youth. It was thought of as more natural than naughty.
I run into a friend at class reunions and the like, and it is always one of the first things she wants to talk about. Lots of swimming holes and creeks growing up. Not so many funny memories as those of simpler, more carefree times.
I must say I am a dirty French. One day, er, several times I swam naked in the sea and…I…made my poo…
I must say it’s very funny because suddenly you feel less alone swimming because of course a poo is not a submarine and must breathe.
No wonder the Mediterranean is Pooluted!
And BTW, you weren’t swimming – you were just going through the motions.
No ! It was in Bretagne !
word request: KUDOS
good one, i wanna know now too
I heard the answer to this before, but I forgot. I would like to hear this again.
A small outfit you may have heard of, called the British Empire. Back in the day they came up with all sorts of wierd ideas about stuff, although to be fair, they weren’t the first to come up with the idea. Another good one was ‘terra nullius’, ‘land belonging to no-one.(No-one important at least.)
Does Hotforwords discuss the political aspects of words very often? It’s pretty interesting, although it would make for longer videos.
Whoops, this was suppossed to be a reply to something roadrunrnch said earlier…oh well, see if you can make sense of it….
Oh I see ya,
Some of the boys like to play in the deep end of the sand box. Others not so much.
There is no up in outer space. And on Earth the top of your head is up. Had those with the say lived in the southern hemisphere, the south pole would be the top of the World. ..?
And the Middle East would be somewhere near Paraguay!
Isn’t it every 12 hours now?
at least the lower middle East?
Technically, I could say yes, but as my country is still part of the British commonwealth, I could probably still be shot for treason or subversion for saying so.
Wow – harsh!
Here in America if you commit treason
during a war, even, it’s just a wrist slap.
they just don’t enforce the law anymore
otherwise, you’d have to hang most of
Congress (start with the leader)
No. It’s a myth. People still believe this
In england the death penalty was abolished years ago, THAT INCLUDES TREASON. I sorta hope they bring it back for terrorisim though

What about the most spoke Russian word ? I think you know which I mean, they say it after each sentence…..”plet”…or how it gets written.

Dearest Teacher;
I’m so sorry, I used to love your podcast, the content was always interesting and you, of course, are gorgeous; however, the increasing encroachment of advertising (most especially for that low-brow, lame SpikeTV excuse for a comedy, ‘Factory’) has left me annoyed and disappointed.
I understand that you have ads on your site, that is common practice, but these podcast ads take away my time and enjoyment of your content.
If they continue… I will be forced to un-subscribe to HotForWords.
Sorry, nothing personal, it’s just business.
Yours respectfully: radiofreekrypton.
PS. If you wish to contact me, you have my e-mail on file
Wow, radio-FREEkryton.
Yours respectfully: radiofreekrypton. 
I’m so sorry, …….. YoUr So DiSplEaSeD ……….XD
, ” If they continue… I will be forced to un-subscribe to HotForWords. Sorry, nothing personal, it’s just business.”
the increasing encroachment of advertising ie Your need to make a living and pay your Bills is not important to me as long as you give up your time to make me Happy. (most especially for that low-brow, lame SpikeTV excuse for a comedy, ‘Factory’) has left me annoyed and disappointed. ME ME and ME! Enough about ME Lets talk about what you think about ME!
No I do not have youR email, give it to me and I will drop you a line
And Maybe some of the other fellas would like to say Hi too.
didn’t see you in my rearview mirror, use your horn. ah nevermind…
Out of Marinas many subscribers do you think losing one would really make a huge difference?
roadrunrnch
Listen pal… MY opinion was given respectfully and without malice.
Whether you like it OR NOT its my opinion and it will be voiced (in this case written).
No, you moronic Jack-Hole, I don’t think that losing one subscriber will make a damns bit of difference to Marina, and I only wish her continued success; but I also believe that anyone who is producing a product of any kind wants, nay, NEEDS to understand the needs and opinions of those people how are patrons of said product.
Oh, and by the way you pissy little flame jockey…
“No I do not have youR email, give it to me and I will drop you a line
And Maybe some of the other fellas would like to say Hi too.”
Personal threats?!… over the internet?!… what are you, like 13 years old? Get off it…
You’re making me soooo incredibly nervous, I’ll have to pay the paperboy to start my computer in the morning, just in case you’ve wired it with C4… Ha Ha Ha Ha 
To James:
In media, one person who takes the time and effort to write in is counted as 1000 listeners or viewers who don’t, can’t or won’t take the time to do so.
Whether you like it or not… I’m NOT alone.
I just took the time to speak up.
Is there some way you can kick idiots like this off. Whats threatening?? Maybe some people might like to say hi. Thats hardly threatning. Jeez lighten up about it. Your not alone.. ? .. urm.. yes…yes you are
I don’t get the podcast, so what happens?
The ads. on the site here, I don’t even see, well except the “White Smoke”, wouldn’t want to lose that one. The annoying & disappointing stuff??? can’t you block it? just wondering, what’s with the podcasts…
The advertising keeps things moving forward & paid for, although they might not be to my taste, somebody else is paying for my education. So I’m cool with any ads…almost any.
I’m confused when you say “just business”.
sounds more like a personal preference.
you could always get Reify Turnabout!
blocks page ads quite well. kills banners, too
and it’s programable if you want to keep
seeing ads like Whitesmoke (scripting).
get proactive, don’t just complain!
PEACE
I like spike TV, so how many 1000’s do I represent? plus all the others who bothered to respond? You won’t be missed.
I agree Geronimo
Sir, Stain of Crap,
My reply is up on Marinas site.
You will need to look for it .
But come on Bi-
3Rs
I sent one of your videos to a female friend and she responded saying
Thats Porn! I tried to tell her otherwise and then wondered if you have ever investigated the word pornography (not according to your list). It might be interesting !I could even send it to her.
is your friend a real girl, or just cyber?
Does she go to church once or twice a day?
sounds like a programmed response and
no actual thinking involved as clearly
Marina’s video’s are not porn. a cyber
wouldn’t know the difference.
My X considered Victoria Secret porn.
When I was about 6, my grandpa and uncle made a bet centered around if I could float in a 5 gallon bucket…
Still having a full days work to do on the farm, my grandpa wouldn’t let me get wet and muddy and climb in his equipment to tag along so skinny it was. Needless to say, the bucket tipped quickly after stepping into it off the deck starting skinny dipping experience #1.
Skinnydipping on Waikiki at 4am on Jan 19, 1971 and getting arrested by 5/0 and having to get bailed out by the CO,,,you don’t understand what I said most likely but we were having fun and the CO was having fits. Just back from “warzone” and short timered, the careing part of our characters was lost (likely forever) and…finding out clothes left somewhere on the beach at that time was tedius to say the least, and fun. The folks at 5/0 HQ were not amused but put up with us…long story short we are all still here and living fine.
I have a cedar canoe & it could tell some stories, bought it not long after highschool finished. Lots of lakes explored & found some pretty remote places to swim in my skin… with my, now wife, Mary.
We were also environmentaly concious, before it was popular, as we cruised around some lakes we would pretty much fill the canoe with discarded beer bottles that floated along the waterline, must have been a habbit in the day to chuck the empties into the water. We helped fund our Honeymoon with the returns. We have a pool now & although skinny dipping is discouraged in our neighbourhood, there has been the odd occasion, when no kids were around & the neighbourhood was evacuated, as it were, the pool would then becon us to dipp, although skinny no more… still fun & the trees around the pool have a privacy rating that is quite excellent.
…I must check that old canoe out for leaks soon & do some more exploring with my wife. Thanks again for the nice little vid. & y’know, your videos stir up imagination as well as memories which lead to ideas, which for me are…blank… ahha i have an Idea, gtg. Cheers
Hi Marina, I happened to watch one of your video on UTube. It was interesting. you have a way of delivering the message and it is superb. Good luck.
Also I would like to know where does the word “catamaran” came from?
Thanks in advance..
soori
Yes, and they sure knew how to do it back then!
Hello, where does the word “moonshine” come from?
From The Southern States of USA, as for the meaning of the word, hmmm i think i know but I won’t of course tell you because I don’t want to take a word from Marina if she wants to do it, however I would like to know myself, if nothing else to just find out if I am right or if I am not then I want to know. Even cooler would be to make a game out of it! If so, I could tell Marina my theory to be one of the possibilities!
Marina, if you do a game of Moonshine, ask me my theory!!! 
It’s almost as obvious as Bootleg, but it may be fun since a lot of people don’t know.
This is SO funny! LMAO!
I read a comment and then
see the default Gravatar,
and it’s like a Rorschach
test! “What do you see?”
here’s a good example labbatt78’s Gravatar
looks like a “Crab People” from South Park.
His comment “…I love to hang out at the spa…”
Laughter is KEELING me!
What are you doing up still it must be about 1:00 there?
Yeah – it’s 1:30
waiting on a friend bringing food – 5 gals.
of alaska king crab legs, ready to go!
the skinny dipping was back on fashion in the late 60’s with the hippie way, one of the things that they promoted was to be in contact with the nature since they were going back to the origins; and skinny dipping is more for women than for men since there is any real moral rule against a man swimming naked
Skinny dipping is not my thing. I love hanging out in the spa my uncle has.
BTW word request-what’s the origin of AC/DC?

But like cha cha said, they could be ’switch hitters’
So … How do you hang out if your not naked?
Or is it just the dipping you don’t like?
Everyone has to dip the flagpole when the Queen come by.
Well it’s true Bob. I have not skinny dipped yet to tell you the truth. If any female to my liking asks me to go skinny dipping with her then I’ll do it.
Hi Marina,
Word request for a future lesson on the word “palindrome” , which you can help your students relate to your new RACECAR shown in a recent lesson. Your need for a RADAR detector to keep your EYE out for the cops as you pass them while you TOOT your horn. You get my point… I almost forgot SOLUTOMAATTIMITTAAMOTULOS

Your #1 Student

I went skinny dipping once when I was younger. It was out in a public lake, but it was early in the morning and no one was there. It was kinda funny because the whole family was skinny dipping. My brother, my mom, step-dad and me. The water in the lake was dark so we didn’t see anything. Anyway, we left all of out cloth on a floating dock in the middle of this small lake and swam around.

Well, as he was messing around, he really did drop my shorts and they got lost. By this time, the lake was really busy and there were hundreds of people around. No one in my family wanted to get me shorts and bring them back, so… I had to run naked in front of ever
